Stimulus might benefit Georgians who hate it the most
February 18, 2009 at 1:43 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsRemember those Georgia Republican Congressmen who bellyached about President Barack Obama’s $787 billion stimulus plan? Their constituents might see most of its benefits.
From Jim Galloway at the AJC:
Not surprisingly, according to the White House, the stimulus will be the greatest boon in north metro Atlanta congressional districts whose Republican representatives opposed it.
The package will create or save about 9,900 jobs in Georgia’s 7th congressional district, represented by John Linder of Duluth.
Another 9,200 jobs will be created or saved in Georgia’s 6th District, which is represented by Republican Tom Price of Roswell.
